    Wireless configuration advice

    Believe it or not - No.  :wallbreak: The joy of a infant in the house. Pretty sure the speaker works fine - just got to sort out the configuration - and actually find time to watch a movie

    Are Onkyo receivers unreliable?

    The HDMI board on my 807 also went - repaired under warranty, with a snotty return note saying it will only be repaired once under warranty. - but cost a fortune in courier fees. Personally - I won't buy Onkyo again - I'd buy a brand with better support in SA - which will be soon when I move to 4k.

    Assessor and tow

    You need to get the car out of there asap. I've used Gardens Towing a few times, found them reasonable - but always ask for a quote up front. http://www.gardenstowing.co.za

    Radiator flush - Yay or Nay?

    Make sure you know where everything is before starting - and where the water is going to go... I had to replace a leaky pipe recently - and my radiator doesn't have a drainage bolt - pulled the pipe at the bottom and the water went everywhere it wasn't meant to go.

    Emigration: who has done so?

    I read somewhere last year was a record setting year for emigration - and this year is expected to exceed that.

    Emigration: who has done so?

    I'm really struggling with the decision - we had a daughter last year, and I'm not sure of her potential future in this country, and I worry for her safety growing up. A friend who emigrated last year said it's a completely different lifestyle, and downscale to what we have here, but they'd...

    Nu Metro is dissing our sound quality at home

    I stopped going to local cinema's after watching movines in Aus, SA quality does not compare - our cinema's are poorly maintained and overpriced.

    Wantitall??

    Also consider Amazon, if they ship what you're looking for. I ordered a fuel pump last week - was delivered today.

    Wireless configuration advice

    I might try and see what it does, although the manual specifically advises against it - it states that the back surrounds should be set the same as the surrounds, but that won't work in this case.

    Wireless configuration advice

    Thanks - nothing on the active surround speaker except a setting for floor, table or shelf. I didn't think it would cause damage to the active speaker, as its basically a separate amp and would require it's own gain settings to match the Onkyo - but nice to confirm. Hopefully have time to test...

    Wireless configuration advice

    I know this speaker gets a bad wrap - but it didn't cost much - so hopefully want to take my 5.1 to 7.1 system. My current 5.1 setup is RTiA9s, CSiA6, FXiA6 - connected to an Onkyo TX-NR807 (actually replacing this shortly, waiting for 4k goodness). The speaker levels on the receiver have all...

    Mr Bocelli on his way to SA

    Damn, that's over priced.

    Digital Experience (the business) ...WTF!

    I'd be making this the insurers problem - if they chose them. I've also found that certain companies respond differently depending on which insurer they're dealing with, some they know they won't get away with bad service, others they know don't care.

    DSTV cut me off - again

    It'll be interesting to see what comes from them in April this year with their annual increase.

    DSTV cut me off - again

    Your original post was the final push for my cancellation back in 2011/2012. My payment was an automatic debit order - I got cut off for non-payment - spent an endless amount of time on the phone trying to get it resolved. Eventually it turned out their automatic system didn't automatically...

    Let me know when you're interested in selling - my dad might be interested - we were discussing dropping a well at his house a week ago.

    Lake Malawi

    2015 Found the resorts we stayed in ok. We camped in Liviingstonia Beach - and then a chalet at Fat Monkeys lodge, it's Africa - so we don't expect much. The lake was horrible anywhere near villages - dirty enough not to risk putting a foot in it - a distance away from the villages the water...
